You feel good about yourself and want to show the world that you have something to offer. You feel that way on the inside but you look like you’re saying something completely different. How do you make the outside match how you feel on the inside? Well, you have to “dress for success.”
But how do you accomplish this? Number one, you got the dress by wearing the part, I mean you have to dress for the job, career or business you want, not for what you currently have. For example, if you want to be successful in having stylish hair, you have to look like your hair is neat. Do you want to go to a hairdresser whose hair is always a mess? i don’t think so. This analogy can be used in almost every profession.
Now this does not mean that you have to go out and spend an extraordinary amount of money to get a completely new look. This fresh look can be achieved by adding a few pieces of accessories to your existing wardrobe.
Some simple tips that I find helpful are:
1) Add a piece of jewelry to the outfit. It can be a pretty bracelet, a simple necklace, a pair of earrings, or even a pretty watch. Don’t do that with jewelry. Just add a little something to your already existing outfit.
2) Jeans dress. I know we get to work five days a week and want a day when we can lighten things up and relax. Wearing a pair of jeans can be as simple as changing from an old t-shirt to a nicer one, or maybe even a blouse. You can even add a simple jacket depending on the outing.
3) Update your current handbag. By adding a simple handbag, you can create a completely different style in the look of the outfit and the way it feels. Handbags are an accessory to any outfit and you should think of it that way.
4) Put some simple beauty tips like drinking plenty of water. Water promotes skin rejuvenation to give it a natural, healthy glow.
5) Take some time for yourself. Everyone needs time to rest and relax. In a previous article I wrote Finding Time to Pamper Yourself, I outlined some tips to follow to help make time for yourself.
Remember, the key to looking and feeling your best is to take care of yourself. If you incorporate some of these tips I mentioned, you can be well on your way to building your confidence as you create or update your style.
